Apple Cider

Seems I always forget to post as things are happening.  So once again, a little catch up.  Two weeks ago I bottled a batch of cider in 1/2 gallon growlers with a little raw cane sugar to carbonate.  I cracked one yesterday and it worked out pretty well.  I think it will carb up a bit more with further bottle conditioning.

 I kept this one real simple.  All it contains is three gallons of "pure apple juice" kroger brand.  Very important to make sure there are no additives or preservatives as they will kill the yeast.  And some Lavlin 1118 yeast.  Oh, and a clove. A little clove goes a long way with this sort of thing.  I left in it the primary for 4 weeks and then bottled right off the lees.

Now I need ideas for some dish I can serve mass quantities of cider with.
